AT THE THEATRE.
Charlotte Thompson in Her New Play
Tonight.


Tonight.
Charlotte Thompson will make her first
appearance this season before a Savannah
audience at the Theatre tonight in her new
play, Drifting Clouds" She played in
Charleston Monday night and the NelCs and
Courier says: Miss Thompson came with
well-established reputation as an emotional
actress Of very high order, and her con-
ception and rendition of the character of
Phyllis Denohr satisfied all those who were
so fortunate as to be present that her dra-
matte merits had not been overrated
From the first to the closing scene the audi
ence were held spell-bound by her artistic
Interpretation of the part assigned her, and
by the feeling and pathos exhibited in her
every word and gesture. As the play pro
ceeded the audience grew enthusiastic, and
the curtain fell amid a perfect storm Of APP
plause."
Tomorrow "Jane Eyre" will be given,
with Miss Thompson in the title role.

A MARYLAND Senator in New York.

If there is man in the country who de-
serves the title of silent politician, it is Sena-
tor Arthur 2. German, Of Maryland. He can
party s.interwiew" with great adroitness and
has way of slyng sno'' when asked his
opinion upon public topics that precludes fur
Their questioning. As chairman of the demo-
cratic national executive committee he eXhib-
tied a shrewdness and knowledge of men
equal TO all the emergencies Of political leader
ship and manipulation. The Senator was in
New York during the week, and while he
would not talk for al, interview chatted briefly
about some points in national politics. Among
other things, he said that in his opinion the
next contest for The presidency would be re-
petition of that OF 1854 as regards the leading
candidates. If the conventions were to come
off now, s'said the Senator ''both Cleveland
and Blaine would be renominated. The result
would be a walk over. Mr.. Cleveland would
be reelected. Our party is SO entrenched that
it cannot be disturbed by any man that the re-
publicans may name. There has been no
great general legislation to affect the relative
standing of the parties before the country
Possession of power by our party has brushed
away the cobwebs. Nothing has gone wrong
as predicted On the contrary, the govern
ment has been fairly administered and the par
ty has secured public confidence. OF course,
great many things may happen between this
time and the meeting of tn e national conven-
tions next year, which might change the
whole situation. The most difficult period to
make prediction as to the future of politics
is in the summer and fall a year before the
conventions meet."--N Y Tribune OF June 5M

A Timely Rebuke.

In its last issue, Harper's weekly,
takes occasion to condemn in severe and
sarcastic terms the Grafton delivered at the
tomb of General Grant on Decoration
Day. The orator is reported to have said
that ''in these days of slush aud gush
one man intends to teach his children
that the war for the Union was right,
eternally right, and the war against the
Union was wrong, eternally wrong 1t
was wicked, desperately wicked" The
Contederates used to be called traitors,
and they WERE" Our able contemporary
very pertinently asks did the
orator think that Grant was an apostle OF
slush and gush ?" and goes on to show
how he, soldier like, urged that the mere
animosity and rhetorical fury of active
war should be forgotten; and notes the
difference in the sentiments entertained
by Charles Sumner who would not IN
scribe upon regimental flags the names OF
battles between fellow citizens. That
such language was not only out OF taste
but abhorrent to the feelings Of the pub
lie, is clearly indicated by the fact that
at the very moment these words of de-
rision of Grants owl patriotic sentiments
were spoken at Grants tomb, to which
Union and Confederate officers together
bore his body, the graves of the soldiers
of the blue and the gray were decorated
in common with memorial flowers at
1T was the fidelity to honest convic-
tion," says the Weekly, (which made a
man willing to die for it; it was the per-
sonal heroism of thousand young South
erners, not less heroic than their stead
fast Northern foes-not the mistaken the
DRY of the Constitution, nor the slavery
which that theory sought to protect
which Grant and Sumner gladly acknow-
lodged, and which the great body of mag
unanimous Union soldiers cordially recog-
nized now
If the speakers on such public occa-
sions would initiate the example of Mr..
Grady and utter only sentiments Of fra
ternity and patriotism and not ''slush and
gush," they would be heard with more
pleasure and the country would be better
for it.

The Advance in Coffee.

The rapid advance in the price of coffee is
ness world at this time. New York is the
center of the coffee spec ulation in the United
States, and the Baltimore coffee men all have
their eyes turned in that direction. A Balt-
more operator in coffee says: .The fact that
yeer ago $1,000 would buy thousand bags
Of coffee, and that the same guam tity will now
cost S26, 900, tells the extent of the advance.
The New York Coffee Exc hange is a creation
Of the last few Years, and with it came the
dealing in margins. Before the days of mar
gins the coffee buyer had to become the pur-
chaser, and it required large capital 10 90
into big venture. Now $1,000 rut up On
margins will control thousand bags of cot
fee, and the result is that all sorts of outside
operators have gone into coffee operations
The coffee men have not, as rule, made
much money by the marked advance, prUba-
bly, because they did not have the faith that
outsiders had in the speculation. 1t is a gi-
gantic speculation that extends over the world
Europe, America, Asia aid Africa About
1l-D,'oD,'''
tion-'corner' it. But the speculation is based
on the crop of lSS.-S, which statisticians fig
ure will be short. tits very much like spec
uation based upon what the wheat crop is TO
be next year. The great coffee speculation of
1874 smashed those who were in. The New
Workers who, with $1,000, 900, was the leader
settled with his creditors at fifty cents on the
dollar, and has been no higher than broker
ever since. Seven or eight Baltimore coffee
men went up at that time"
There is another view Of the coffee ad-
vance. This is entertained by the class Of
coffee dealers who believe the coffee supply is
sure to be short because of failure in the pro-
ducing countries. The wholesale dealers say
the trade is not active because retail men
will not buy except in small quantities, be-
lieving the high figures will not be maintain
ed. The wholesalers think they have data
to show that coffee will continue to be dear.
Coffee substitutes and authorizations are said
to be coming conspic ously to the front again

1t is serious problem, says an exchange
this convict labor. The conyicts should not
be idle They will, nearly all of them, some
day be released, and years of idle life will in
evitably make them more dangerous to society
than they were before committal. The pris-
ons ought to be self supporting. In an ideal
State it would be impossible for any man, by
peIpetrating crime, to burden the body pol
itic with his support. Free labor ought not to
be deprived of any remuneration it would 9th
erwise gain bv the COMP clifton of criminals
How shall these three principles be rec ,nciled?
The Bureau of Labor Statistics of Illinois has
just suggested plan in its fourth report. 1t
proposes to Danish machinery, to make the
convicts work at manual occupations. 1t is
argued with much plausibility that this will
keep tie competition at a minimum, increase
the .elf-reliance Of the prisoner, and make him
earn his board, clothing and lodging, at the
same time. Like all great discoveries, it
seems simple and practicable, and satisfacto-
ry solution of troublesome question. 1t is
certainly far superior to the Heralds PROPOSE
ton to Danish convcts to Alaska.
